> The Israeli offensive against Lebanon is an act of aggression against > the
> whole Lebanese people. The IDF claims to be attacking an
> “infrastructure
> of terror”, but the attacks on bridges, roads, airports and ships are
> cutting the country into pieces, threatening to create a disastrous
> situation by impeding the transportation of food and medicines, and
> terrorizing everyone. Besides the hundreds killed and injured,
> thousands
> of people are fleeing the country, and thousands of people are fleeing
> from the areas where the bombing is heaviest into central Beirut. Even
> here in the “safe” parts of the city we can hear the bombs throughout
> the
> day and night, and electrical and water supplies are tenuous.
> Political and civil society organizations here are organizing to help
> people deal with the effects of the invasion, but there is only so
> much we
> can do on our own. We are calling on our brothers and sisters in the > rest
> of the world to do two things to help us.
> First we call on you to protest at Israeli embassies and consulates, > as we
> hear some groups are already doing. The Israeli government must be
> held
> accountable for its criminal and terroristic actions here and in
> Palestine. We also ask you to send us information about any such
> protests
> you carry out.
> Secondly we are asking you to help us with our work with displaced
> people
> here in Beirut. The group we are part of, the Relief Center - Spears, > is
> working in 23 schools in the central areas of Beirut, which were
> housing
> more than 5,000 people as of the night of July 15th (we don’t know how
> many thousands more are in other areas). People there are sleeping > 10 or
> 15 to a room without enough mattresses, and they are only receiving
> food
> and water irregularly from the government. Many are children or
> elderly,
> and except for trauma centers the only medical care is being provided > by
> volunteers organized by the Relief Center. These volunteers are
> lacking
> the medicines and other supplies they need to care for people. Media
> activists here will shortly be distributing videos documenting the
> situation in these schools, which will only get worse if nothing is
> done.
> Besides the humanitarian aspect of the situation, helping displaced
> people
> is crucial to the reconstruction of Lebanon after this crisis ends. > One
> aspect of the Israeli offensive is an attempt to foment tensions
> between
> different cultural groups in Lebanon. This is the only way they can > hope
> to achieve their goals without an all-out war, but in the end it would > do
> more damage to Lebanese society than any amount of physical
> destruction. A broad relief effort is an essential part of avoiding
> such a disaster.
> We urgently need money to buy the supplies we need to help the
> internally
> displaced population here. We ask everyone who can to send donations,
> however small, the Relief Committee – Spears in the care of the
> following
> two people by bank transfer. Please contact your bank to find out how > to
> do this.
